Chic-Fil-A's are big down here in Texas. They do seem a little classier than the average fast food chain. Pretty neat that they close all their stores on Sundays.

Perhaps this has been covered, but what was the taco place on the top (third) level of Metcalf South, SW corner?

I just remember a restaurant in Tipton, MO that was on the corner & was brick...I remember were eating there one time when Walkin' Joe Teasdale came in & was eating at the same time we were.....

Can't remember the name though.

I think that was a Taco Via as well. There was one on 75th & Metcalf and the one there, IIRC.

5. Ken's Pizza (either Rogers, AR, or Springfield - don't remember now)

I was through Rolla about two years ago & went to Johnny's....still the best place to eat in Rolla.:clap:

There was one on the I-80 interchange near Greenwood, NE (Alvo Road). It's been gone for years.

King's was the name...loved that place when I was a kid because my parents would let me "phone" in the order.

Heh. I worked for a day at the Orange Julius on the lower level, across from the fountain.

Walking distance from the house as a kid was,

(Original) In a Tub (Corner of Cherry and N Oak)
Griff’s (Cherry St)
Pizza Hut (Cherry St)

A little drive north

Hays Burgers (Vivion)
The Forum (I think that’s the right name at the Antioch Shopping Ctr)

Riverside

Dog N Suds (take your own gallon jug in a get root beer)

North Town

Black’s Sweet Shop (one of my uncles ran that, got free shakes as a kid)

Downtown

Town N Country (Broadway)

As you can tell from this list I was taken to only the finest establishments in town.
